Question: what did these two run in terms of Beyer # last time they met?
88's.

The Fantasy number appears to have been very easy to make.

Using Tidal Pool's 101 last out as the stick, Blind Luck's 2.5+ advantage is +4 points so a 104-105 makes perfect sense.

6.5 lengths from Tidal Pool back to No Such Word (92 in the Honeybee last) = 11 points, so the margins back up the last race and the current.

Is the difference in Blind Luck Friday at OP versus Blind Luck at DMR, SA and HOL all that tough to figure? There was a slight surface switch involved..
